Sidmouth College’s newly-appointed acting principal has said he is ‘tremendously excited’ and ‘privileged’ to lead the school forward over the next 12 months.
Jim Ingham-Hill will step into the position from September for a year, following the announcement Kenny Duncan will leave the school at the end of the summer term.
In a letter to parents, the chair man of governors, Ann Denner, said that Mr Ingham-Hill had a ‘proven track record’ in delivering high-quality education since joining the school seven years ago.
She said: “It is this drive and enthusiasm, as well as a strong commitment to Sidmouth College that will ensure that the best possible outcomes for students remain as the highest priority for the leadership of the college.”
Mr Ingham-Hill joined Sidmouth College in January 2009 as vice-principal from Uffculme on a six-month secondment, before being offered a full-time position in charge of teaching and learning.
